As a leading florist in Chingford, Flowers Chingford is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct in every aspect of our business. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the actions we take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking throughout our operations and supply chains. As a trusted supplier to households and businesses in the local area, we recognise our responsibility to uphold human rights and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
Flowers Chingford adopts a zero-tolerance stance towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, child labour, and human trafficking. We are unwavering in our commitment to ensuring that such practices have no place within our operations or our supply chain. This principle guides all our business relationships, employee conduct, and sourcing activities.
We recognise that the risk of modern slavery can exist at any stage of the supply chain. To address this, Flowers Chingford conducts thorough due diligence on all new and existing suppliers. We expect our partners and suppliers to share our commitment to ethical sourcing and compliance with all applicable laws regarding labour and employment. Our vetting process includes requesting information about suppliers’ own anti-slavery measures and, where appropriate, seeking confirmation that their practices align with our standards. Any supplier failing to meet these requirements will be subject to review, and relationships may be terminated where serious breaches are identified.
We recognise the critical role our employees play in identifying and preventing modern slavery. All staff receive training to understand the signs of exploitation and their responsibility to uphold our policies. This training ensures our team is vigilant, aware of potential risks, and able to recognise any suspicious behaviour in our supply chain or daily operations. Regular updates and refreshers are provided to keep staff knowledge current and to reinforce our zero-tolerance approach.
Flowers Chingford is committed to providing a safe environment for everyone to raise concerns. We have established clear internal channels for staff and workers to confidentially report any suspicions or evidence of modern slavery or exploitation. All reports are treated seriously and investigated thoroughly in line with our internal procedures. No one ever faces reprisal for making a report in good faith.
This statement and our approach to preventing modern slavery are subject to annual review by management. As part of this review, we assess the effectiveness of our policies, staff training programmes, supplier engagement, and reporting mechanisms, making improvements as necessary. We are committed to evolving our practices in line with best practice guidance and legal developments, ensuring ongoing vigilance and improvement.
Flowers Chingford cares deeply about the welfare of every individual we work with—whether a staff member, supplier, or member of our community. Our efforts to identify and prevent the risk of modern slavery reflect our core values as a Chingford business trusted by local households and organisations. We will continue working with diligence and integrity to ensure a fair, safe, and just environment for all connected to Flowers Chingford.
